Skyline athletic director Ryan Gilbert confirmed Wednesday that the Spartans will not face defending 7A Florida state champion Manatee and its quarterback Cord Sandberg but will instead travel to Idaho to take on the two-time defending Idaho 5A state champs from Coeur d’Alene.

The game will be in the Kibbie Dome, the multi-purpose home of many of the University of Idaho’s men’s and women’s athletic programs including football, basketball, track and field and tennis.

Complications with the promotion company financing Manatee’s cross country trip and the airline providing the flights were ultimately what doomed that game when rising gas prices gave the airline a way out of the deal.

Gilbert also said the Spartans, which will travel to Utah in week two, are working on another non-conference home game.

“There’s multiple moving parts,” Gilbert said.
